v2.2

Changelog Update

v2.2 – 4-11-25

• Configuration Management

  • Added persistent, encrypted configuration support.
    • The application now stores required values (GitHub Token, Encryption Passphrase, GitHub Owner, GitHub Repository) in a file (config.json) encrypted using AES‑GCM.
    • On first run, users are prompted for these values and for a master configuration password to encrypt the config file.
    • On subsequent runs, users only need to enter the master configuration password to load the configuration.

• Encryption and Decryption

  • Integrated AES‑GCM‑based encryption for both file contents (tasks backups) and configuration data.
  • Updated encryption/decryption functions to handle both backup files and the configuration file.

• GitHub Backup & Import

  • Implemented GitHub backup functionality:
    • When backing up tasks (e.g., tasks.json and optionally tasks_export.csv), files are encrypted (if an encryption passphrase is provided), base64‑encoded, and uploaded to the specified GitHub repository under the /backups/ directory.
  • Added GitHub import functionality:
    • On import, the application downloads the encrypted backup file from GitHub, decodes and decrypts it locally using the provided passphrase so that tasks are available as plain‑text JSON.

• Help Section Update

  • Completely refreshed the help screen to include up‑to‑date instructions for all application functions:
    • General Controls: Navigation with arrow keys or j/k/h/l; Enter to select; q or ESC to exit.
    • Main Menu Options: Descriptions for “View Tasks,” “Manage Tasks,” “Help,” and “Exit.”
    • Manage Tasks Submenu: Detailed explanations for all task management functions including adding, editing, deleting tasks; CSV import/export; calendar-based due date selection; plaintext import; GitHub backup and import.
    • Calendar Controls: Instructions for selecting month, day, and year.
    • Configuration & Security: Description of how configuration values are handled, encrypted, and stored, plus GitHub communication over HTTPS.
    • GitHub Backup & Import: Specific details on how backups are encrypted before upload and decrypted on import.

• User Interface Improvements

  • Consolidated and deduplicated all curses‑UI helper functions (menu selection, popups, calendar grids, etc.) ensuring that functions such as selectable_menu are defined only once and are in scope.
  • Updated the help screen and other UI elements to reflect the latest set of features and improvements.
